One day, Ben again snapped. He again wanted to get answers from her,and if she didn't give, he just wanted to show her, her place.
.
Y/n was in her room,just lost in her thoughts when a loud knock startled her.
Opening the door, she found an unsteady Ben, high with alcohol and probably some other drugs.
Without waiting for an invitation,which of course he knew he wouldn't get,he got inside, and she cautiously took a step back.
" Why did you break my he- heart,y/n? Why?" He slurred.
She could almost smell the alcohol.
"Ben, you are drunk."
" You think I don't know that!?" He scoffed and almost sarcastically laughed.
"You need to leave."
Truth was, she was scared of what he might do. Nowadays,she was just too scared to even face him.
He was unpredictable.
But Ben was having none of it. He grabbed her shoulders tightly and shook her.
" Don't you dare tell me what to do! You owe me answers!" He yelled as his grip on her tightened.
" I DONT OWE YOU ANYTHING!!" she yelled back.
" Look at yourself! Your state!" She shouted again as her hand met his cheek.
Yea, she slapped him.
Ben's head snapped to the side and for a split second,there was silence.
But.
The shock instantly turned into rage. His eyes darkened and he took steps closer.
" Yea and thanks to you! I am in this state, all thanks to you and your stupid brain or whatever mind games you are playing. And you think you can just slap me and get away with it!? You are nothing but a coward,y/n. Running away, hiding behind your excuses. You are pathetic." He snarled.
She could feel the things she lost- the man she loved, her sense of safety and a piece of herself.
Just when he was about to say something more, the door burst open and came in was Tommy with wide eyes filled with concern.
All the shouting probably attracted him.
" Ben, what the hell are you doing?" He demanded as he tried to grab Ben to get him away from y/n.
But Ben shook him off roughly and his glare shifted from y/n to his friend.
" Don't. It's between me and her."
But Tommy stepped between them, and was protective of y/n.
"You had too many drinks. Let's leave." He tried to sound calm but the frustration was clear.
Ben's eyes narrowed at that and then he bitterly laughed.
" Who are you trying to defend here Tommy? Her!?" He rudely pointed towards y/n.
" The girl who ruined everything including ME! You should be defending me, not her!"
" Tommy it's fine. Just take him away." Y/n almost pleaded.
But Ben wasn't done. He again turned back to her.
"You think you can just throw me away? After everything I have done for you? You are just a selfish, ungrateful little-"
" That's enough,Ben!" Tommy shouted and pushed him back with more force.
" You can have her, Tommy. She is nothing but a burden." Ben scoffed.
Y/n gasped at that. And her tears freely flow. Each insult felt like a physical blow. She could feel her heart being broken all over again.
Before Tommy could respond, the whole team came in.
" Ben , this has to stop. You are out of control." Crimson said as she took steps towards him.
" Oh great. The whole gangs here. Came here to see the show? Grab a chair. I'll give you a proper one." He sneered as he looked back at y/n.
Dan placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
" Ben, we are your friends and we just want to help you."
But Ben shrugged his hand away.
" Help me? By taking....taking her side? Such a good friendship." He scoffed.
" You have to stop this,man." Swatto tried to knock some sense in him.
" You all think you all can just gang up on me? Fine! Take her side! See if I care."
While the team was busy calming Ben down, y/n just slipped away and left the room. As much as if hurts, she knew she had to protect herself , even if it meant walking away from him for good.
Back in the room, Ben continued to hurl insults by insults on her, even though she wasn't there to listen.
"You think you can just leave me!?" He shouted and his voice broke with emotion.
It was like that he just couldn't let her go.
And then, he began to throw things around the room, her books, her personal belongings , anything he could get his hands on.
" Ben, stop this madness! You will regret it!" Sean shouted.
" Regret? Oh yes,I am regretting! For trusting her!" Ben shouted and knocked a lamp over and the shattering of the glass just made him more furious.
"You need to calm down,man. This isn't helping anyone." Noir said, trying to calm him.
"I don't need your help! None of you understand!" He shouted and his voice cracked.
His rampage continued ,until, finally,he lost his balance and crashed into a dresser and hurt himself.
The room fell silent, as Ben lay there, clutching his arm. Everyone just stared at him.
Ben looked around the room and saw the destruction he just did.
Suddenly,the fight left him. Ben slumped to the floor and his body trembled.
" What have I done?" He whispered.
His teammates watched him in shock as his anger now turned into sorrow.
He begun to cry, as his tears fell and he curled up on the floor.
"I have lost everything."
Tommy couldn't see Ben like that. He knelt besides him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Ben. It's going to be okay. Just....be strong."
Ben weakly nodded. And his sons grew quieter. He felt broken, more so, than he ever felt before. The room around him was a mess,just like his heart.
As Ben remained on the floor, something inside of him shifted. The sorrow in his eyes left and his expression hardened.
Slowly, he pushed himself up and brushed off the reassuring hands of his teammates.
"No...no more weakness and no more...crying." he said as his tears dried up.
" She made her choice. If she doesn't want me...then...I also don't need her." He declared as his jaw tightened.
Was that true?
"Are you sure about this?" Sean asked.
" I am done being hurt. Done being weak...for her. From now on, I focus on me. She's out of my life. And..thats how it's going to stay."
"Ben,you don't have to cut her out completely. Maybe with time-"
Before crimson could complete her sentence, Ben stopped her.
"No. It's over. I will forget her. She's dead to me."
A/n: love can make you go crazy!!!
